What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the first time?

A river trip stood up to the expectations of the lake trip and for half the price. We caught plenty of fish (about 40-50) and the 8 hours was perfect. No salmon or steelhead available during that time but the experience was AWESOME!

River fun, Captain Anthony was very knowledgeable of the area and made suggestions to help us catch more fish. I will say the river gets frequent users so be aware of a potential crowd but the fishing didn't disappoint.

The Grand and Muskegon rivers have some great fishing. It is helpful to hire a guide so they can teach you where the fish are and how to catch them.

It's definitely a great time! Pack sunscreen though and maybe bring bug spray because the mosquitos had a field day with us.

We are newbies and had a very knowledgeable Captain as our guide. The whole expirience couldn't have been better! Caught lots of fish. Improved as we went along and had loads of fun!
